Hi! I imagine this is a study game for you. Great job. I wanted to let you know about a bug I found where in I can slow down the ball by trapping it against the side of the paddle and the edge of the screen for a couple of bounces.
If I had to guess why, I would say you're calculating the ball's new velocity after a hit based directly off of the velocity at the time of the hit. Instead, set a constant for your velocity and then multiply this with the normalized value of your new velocity after the hit.
i.e. new Velocity = mySpeed * NewVector2.normalized;
This will keep the ball moving at a consistent speed and the performance hit from the calculation will be negligible.

Keep up the good work!
